Late at Night
Image created onCanva
Donkeys bray
Breaking the stillness
Of the cricket’s song
With the clip clop of their hoofs
Against the asphalt,
They run loose in my neighborhood
Coyotes yip and howl
And the wind whooshes
Against the leaves on the bushes
My cat meows in woeful tones
To be let in for the night
